Congratulations! You are going to absolutely love your new toy!

Add snowtrackers to the ski's. With the fantastic power steering system they make the sled rail around turns.

Which ones do u recommend aggressive or semi ?

The 14 XTX comes with the Yamaha Tuner Skis not sure you can use snowtrackers with them. You will need to change Skis to have Snowtrackers i believe.

The Tuner skis are a big upgrade from pass Yamaha skis. Take it for a ride before mod you maybe happy with it from your pass sled.

That's odd. I thought they were all the same. How much fuel does it say it holds?

 

[xtx]

34.5 liters

 

[xtx]

9.2 gallons , 34.6 litres

Just looked in my manuals. 07 holds 38.3l or 10.1 gallons. 2011 holds 34.6l, or 9.14 gallons.

Yamaha Canada's website shows snowtrackers for tuner skis.

it has the tuner skies already, no need for any other skies or snow trackers. I switched to a set of the tuners last year with dual 6" carbides and it handles great now with no darting whatsoever. i added more weight to the front and now rails with hardly a hint of any pushing. I'd ride it first and get the suspension tuned to your liking before making any other changes

At least we have a couple of sane members who recommend-- RIDE IT BEFORE YOU MOD.

How can many of you make "wholesale recommendations" when the new sled owner has not even ridden one (1) mile? In this case, HE doesn't have a specific problem --why would you recommend a specific answer?

do not be suprised on the 1st big bump at speed if you feel a snapping/crunching from the rear suspension. shocked the heck out of me on the 2013 jan ty ride.

I will recommend that you check the toe in before you go riding as mine was set almost 1" toed out.

the only other setting I would recommend is setting the torsion springs to soft unless you weigh almost 300lb+ as it will spank your #*$&@ in rough trail.

I leave the shock settings to you as that is for your personal preference .


I bought my apex as nos on dec 31 2012 and the rear torsion spring setting happened on the side of the trail towards the end of the 1st day. viperdave and others told me I would be turning those to soft before the end of the day. I wish I had listened to them sooner.
